Review and Giveaway: TOAD Personalised Diaries

I love writing a list, and having everything written down. I’m not one for keeping a list online, and instead preferring to put pen to paper. I have a diary and notebook for everything; a diary for making plans, a notebook to write my to-do-list for the day, and a notebook for my Digital Mums course. However what I didn’t have was a blog planner or blog diary. Instead I was writing ideas for posts and when it would be published in my day to day diary, or writing lists in Trello that I wasn’t really following. It just so happened that TOAD Diaries contacted me just a right time asking if I wanted to review their range, and to run a competition.

All TOAD Diaries are personalised and it is really simple to order from their website using their customiser. The diaries allow you to choose up to two lines of text to be placed on the front and back cover to suit your needs. As this is my blog diary I went for the name of my blog on the front cover, and an inspirational quote on the back cover to help with times when I lose my blog mojo (you’ll be amazed at how many times that happens).

Next up is to select the size, binding, and the front and back cover design. I love an A5 sized book, as it’s just the right size to fit inside my handbag, and I prefer a wiro-bound book making it easier to write. I opted for an orange design for the front and back cover to match my blog colour scheme.

Inside the diary there are so many different formats you an select; from week view, to single page view, to week view with a lined page or a grid page. The choice was endless, and in the end I opted for a day per page, so that I could use the full page for writing ideas for the blog post on the day that it would be published.

I’m so impressed with my personalised diary, and what’s even better is if you decide you want to start a blog diary or any diary now, TOAD provide the option to start the diary mid-way through the year. So there’s no waiting until the start of 2018 to use your diary. As a side note TOAD Diaries are not just for blogging, they are also a day-to-day diary, or can be used for just about anything you need a diary for.

It was really easy to order from TOAD Diaries, the customiser on the website is really easy to use, and the diary arrived a couple of days after I placed the order. If it’s not a diary you are after, TOAD also produce a range of personalised notebooks too. I really like the look of The Pad which would be perfect for brainstorming ideas or using as a bullet journal.
